    GA .30 Carbine

    I have 2,000+ rounds of .30 Carbine ammo. About half is Korean surplus, the remainder is mostly Prvi 110gr soft point. A handful of Remington FMJ. $950 firm picked up near Acworth Cabelas or Acworth Walmart.

    Econ Precious Metals

    I don't want to argue about the usefulness of PM, but how do you all feel about buying gold vs buying silver? I'm buying some now, but cant decide which to focus on. Seems like it would be easier to liquidate silver, or use it for small transactions, but then again that also sounds crazy.

    The new abnormal, or 'what color frame matches my shoes?'

    It seems that the potential threat environment has changed. 8 months ago I think carrying something like a j frame or LCP was perfectly fine, as the average threat level was like 1-2 attackers trying to rob you. Now, with the lawlessness in some parts of the country, and being so close to a...

    Cz455 vs 457

    I'm thinking about getting a nice 22LR rifle. I briefly considered a Savage bolt gun, but the CZs are orders of magnitude more quality. Am I gaining much by spending ~$50 more for a CZ457 vs a 455?

    Aero Atlas Rails

    Anybody have one of those new Aero Atlas rails? How does it hold up to some use? The mounting system seems a bit flimsy...but at that price point I might build a super beater pistol for the truck

    Geissele rails

    Please talk some sense into me and tell me that a Mk16 rail isn't worth $250 more than a Mk14 rail.

    P&W or brace in 2018

    So I'm putting together a URGIsh upper (14.5) and am debating on whether to pin and weld a surefire 3 prong warcomp or leave it threaded on and just put an sba3 on a VLTOR 7 position stock... I dont like the idea of having a md permanently attached, but I also like the way the sopmod stock...

    To SBR or not

    So I've got a mk18 that I'm almost done with...nut I'm de eating whether to SBR it or not. Right now I have a VLTOR A5 system on it with an SBA3..and measuring it between a std. Carving buffer with a B5 Bravo on it the SBA3 is .3" shorter. The B5 feels better, but I dont know that its $200...

    Muzzle devices

    So my FDE Mk18 upper gets here tomorrow and I need a muzzle device. I've never really messed around with short barreled ARs, any suggestions on what to get? I'm considering a SF 3P warcomp, SF CT warcomp, a YHM Phantom, or maybe a VG6 Gamma. If i got one of the warcomp I'd probably do something...

    AR upper

    I've got a nice DDC Geissele Mk4 rail that I got for el cheap and am going to build an upper...but I'm torn. I have a Mk18 upper and like the size, but am also a bit amazed at the velocity loss compared to a 12.5 barrel. Should I build another 10.5ish super or go with a 12.5? Or 11.5? Using...

    AKs.....still viable?

    So...AKs seem to have died off. Imports have slowed, and they just dont seem to be aa popular. Ive been eyeing another AK74...but man it just seems like a dying platform. Am I off base? It does seem a bit strange that I can buy a Colt AR for $900 or so but a decent AK is about 1050.

    Help me pick a CZ

    Thanks to @Jake , I want another CZ. I'm having a tough time deciding between an SP-01 Phantom and a 75B Urban Grey. It will be a range/HD gun. Both are semi rare, both are awesome. The 75B UG is about $40 more than a Phantom, but comes with a threaded barrel and night sights. The Phantom has...

    P320 RX vs P226 RX

    So, for a general purpose house/range gun, which would you pick? A P320 RX or a P226 RX? I like the idea of a P226 RX as it is a proven, classic design that really only loses in the weight category, but in a house gun that doesn't really matter. The P320 RX is cheaper, but not by a huge amount...

    AR barrel stamps

    I found an AR barrel, it was fluted forward of the gas block. Only stamp I could find was " G 5.56 NATO 1/7". Any ideas who made it? Ive never come accross a G stamp. It was definitely a G and not a C... @cmshoot

    Daniel Defense

    Between a Colt 6920 and a Daniel Defense M4X, and a price delta of $100, which would be the better buy? Assume they have the same rail system. Go

    BCGs

    What's the latest consensus on the best BCGs? Nitride better than NiB? NP3 better than nitride? Does it matter? Is NiB mostly for looks? Learn me

    300 BO questions

    So, if ammo cost were NOT an issue, is 300 BO or 5.56 a better choice for a primary defensive rifle?
